Certified Senior System Architect - Pega 8+
Greetings!
As the title says, I was wondering if we're gonna have available an official CSSA or CSA course for Pega 8.0, or higher versions. I had this doubt because I was starting to study the CSSA for 7.4, but if a new version is around the corner, I might as well study for that instead.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Pega does not have a Practice exam for PCSA version 8. Instead, we recommend the following study tips for the PCSA 8 exam:
Pega does not have a Practice exam for PCSA version 8. Instead, we recommend the following study tips for the PCSA 8 exam:
- Review the PCSA 8 exam blueprint at: https://academy.pega.com/library/8/pega-certified-system-architect.
- The exam blueprint will indicate the test topics and % of questions within the test topics, along with the passing score and other exam information.
- Take and retake the quizzes in the System Architect Essentials 8 course until you fully understand the answers.
- Some of the questions in the courses are very certification exam-like types of questions. Consider using the questions in the course as your Practice exam.
- Complete the course exercises so you fully understand them.
- Our exams are performance/scenario-based, so you really need to know how to use the Pega product. Completing the course exercises are a good way to enforce the concepts learned in the course.
- If taking an Instructor-Led course, your course instructor may do a Test Prep session prior to the exam date, or Pega has Test Prep clinics that are available for registration in Pega Academy at https://academy.pega.com/library/7374/csa-certification-test-preparation-clinic. The Version 8 Test Prep clinic should be available soon.
